Kaelie's New Sport !!!!

As you can tell we play alot of baseball in our family. Kaelie is a great cheerleader for her brothers, but she does have her own sport that she is developing this summer. She has been taking technique class to get on the swim team. She really wants to do diving, BUT I hate heights and those high dives are HIGH !!!!

Summer Activities

All Stars is over!!!!!

Kj came in 3rd in the district. This was a hard tournament when Keith and I realized it was KJ's last year of Little League. He played and practiced so hard for so many years and we are so proud of all of his accomplishments. We as parents have put in so much time and effort ourselves, we don't know what to do know with all this extra time. Just Kidding that time has been filled with lots of work around our house. Here in West Texas KJ's team has prayed before each game. It is something his team has done for 3 years now. It's nice to see grown men being good examples for the younger generations.


Marlin came in 2nd in district. He played his little heart out during his first year of All-Stars. He had a double hitter with the same team to win the Championship. He won the first game 13-2 and then turned around and lost the 2nd game 5-3. It was a heart breaker for these 10 years old boys. Every single boy experienced every emotion in a matter of 4 hours. It made me tear up to see them all crying. Marlin cried all the way home (20 min drive). He's over it now, but wow he was upset.

All-Stars




Congrat's KJ(Killer Joe) and Marlin (Tuna)!!!!

They made the Midland Northern Baseball All-Star Team. KJ in on the 12 yr old team and Marlin is on the 10 yr old team. That means more baseball, at least 2 more months of baseball. For all those that know the game means no more swimming on game days. That's tough for mothers of bored kids. It is fun for the boys, and I'm so proud of their hard work. Good job kids and dad. Give Kaelie $5 and she is set for the game, which allows me to keep
score for the coach.

Family Vacation

We were lucky enough to find a week free of baseball to take a family vacation. We had a great time having fun in the sun. We are now peeling that fun in the sun off our backs. We played and played. Spent most of our time at the beach, snorkling and even shared the beach with long big lizards. YUCK!!!! Some of them good eat Kaelie they were so big. It was fun to get away from real life for awhile.

Me, KJ, and Kaelie snorkling.
